This is quite easy. say you have a rectangular prism of the same size, then two of these triangular prisms would fit into it, correct? So it is half of the base*width*height.

12*6*9=648

That is the area of a full rectangular prism, but the triangular prism is one half of that. so it would be 648/2.
